Give MX a try - I've found it to be "just the thing" for a lot of desktop and laptop installs.
Debian since 2001.
Tried Mandrake, Red Hat, etc, but Debian remained as the best choice for desktop and servers.
Around 2003 Knoppix was my portable system, because I didn't own a laptop.
Later (2007) switched to Kubuntu for desktop, but debloating every new installation.
Nowadays Debian remains as the best choice for servers, and Proxmox for virtualization.

I’ve noticed that people often confuse stability ( = doesn’t change) with reliability ( = doesn’t fail). These are two different software attributes.
From my experience having a stable system, like Ubuntu LTS, can leave you with stale bugs that were accepted and will never be fixed (I’m not going to say a word about Debian because I haven’t used it much). Personally, I choose reliability over stability, as I get irritated by bugs but I like new features. I suspect this is also the preference of majority of users.
OTOH, on rolling release distros you get bug fixes as quickly as any new features and as quickly as new bugs as well. The truth is that reliability doesn’t depend on the release model. It’s rather a matter of testing. Testing strategy may influence the release model yet it’s not a direct dependency.

I use Arch as my daily OS, I update once a week, I can't remember the last time I had to do anything manually, it works pretty reliably.
I used Debian for years before Arch, I switched because of KDE that was always out of date and I specifically choose Arch because I liked their wiki.
On my home server I still use Debian because I want to forget about it. They're different, but good in their own ways.
@domragusa Same, I was always on LTS distros because of the fear of the above post but it's been 5 years now and I've used and maintained it the same way I've did with any distro beforehand, zero issues.
That said, it's only my personal anecdote. I'm aware that Arch had major breaking transitions in the past, some headache points, and esoteric software / driver users + AUR heavy users may naturally have more issues from time to time so I don't discount those experiences.
Fully agree with your post 😀
Yep. There's a reason why nobody uses Arch for servers or production workstations.
I use only one operating system at home, on my servers and at work: Debian Stable
maybe I'm doing something wrong but I haven't had any notable issues with Arch...
I few problems like network crashes etc. that remedy with `sudo pacman -Syu`; also I once managed to lock myself out somehow typing my password, although that was likely a PEBKAC issue 😅
I hear this sentiment a lot, but I don't get it. I've been using #ArchLinux as my daily driver for years now. Yes, it's true, I ‘feed it pacman -Syu’ every day, but that's really all I have to do — and honestly, if it was actually a big deal for me I would just automate this. I've never had to deal with broken dependencies, nor has a new kernel ever broken anything. There was one brief period were yay stopped working but I just reinstalled it, and it was fine.
Just to be fair, I don't do anything fancy with my computer — I pretty much just code and check my emails — so maybe if I were doing something more complicated then I would see problems. But used as a regular laptop I've found that Arch presents very few problems.
I've even been able to run a few games from #Steam in the past, without any issues, though I don't do that too often.
Maybe you have specific examples in mind?
Debian stable for my servers.
Debian Sid for my laptop.
The Best of both worlds
Ironically that's what using Ubuntu and Debian felt like before I switched to Arch. It always broke you never could just add some project from github as it required newer libraries. And when I run into software issues they almost always were fixed upstream 5 or 10 years ago.
But these days I'm at NixOS though.
Swore by Arch for years, loved the ABS and the AUR, but when I built a home server the maintenance started to become more and more tiresome.
Replaced it with Ubuntu Server LTS a few years ago and haven't looked back ever since.
I also replaced it on my desktop with Bazzite, as I use it mostly for gaming, and connect to the server over ssh for work.
All irony aside, you're exaggerating wildly when it comes to regressions. I've been using it for four years now on several clients and I was honestly surprised that it doesn't show more regressions than Ubuntu LTS (which I used for 15 years prior).
Still, Arch and its hyped derivatives have no place in the hands of beginners.
This feels needlessly antagonistic.
Maintaining Arch isn't that hard. I do it on my gamingPC without really even thinking about it. I am admittedly fairly technical, but it's not remotely as difficult or time consuming as you're describing it.
I understand that this is intended as a joke, but it just sorta comes off as mean spirited.

Will share this with my brother who keeps on about arch linux
Emm Archlinux是不错的 你的观点也是正确的 绝望的是作为一个极客玩具,本应该被高技术人群使用,然而在中国,它马上与“嘉豪”文化深度绑定了(嘉豪:指中国有些人他自己本来不强,但通过招笑的行为强行把自己包装的很强,以满足虚荣心,从而引起嘲笑),现在是我这种正经用户有时会被称为“嘉豪”,而“嘉豪”的人却准备用它装自己很强。未来,如果这种情况不的以缓和,可能有大量计算机小白涌入Archlinux(哪些小白甚至连Ubuntu都没用过!!!),届时社区会面临巨大的压力,充斥着无意义的提问,而且我们这些正常用户也会受到攻击。我自己很担忧这种情况。我不确定这封帖子是否能被注意,只希望宣泄一下情绪。
注:“小白”:指新手
Arch Linux since 2012 on my main work machine. At the start there were some system changes which required manual intervention but really nothing since then. I only do a reinstall when I change hardware.
But for servers it's Debian, also home server and raspberry. 🍥 ❤

hey man, there's no reason to make fun of each other, you don't need this, they don't need this.
it also deserves to note that SteamOS is based on Arch; it's a hugely popular distro that has arguably added a lot of Linux gamers to the Linux camp.
We're all in this together. No need to kick someone while they're down. it's just useless infighting in the end.
If Debian ends up in a bad place due to targeted hacks, wouldn't you get tired if people started suggesting Arch to you?
I daily drive arch for production and playing games, and my servers use debian because Debian just so happened to be what my first OCI vm used so I just kinda stuck with it. I'm confident I could use either for either
As a counter-anecdote, the whole time I used Arch it was 100% stable for me. (I left for other reasons.)
Have you actually used Arch? It really isn't that unstable. I'm not going to say it's perfect, but it absolutely is a lot more stable than you seem to think...
As for broken drivers/dependencies/etc, I've had that happen in Debian too. (Especially before Trixie. Trixie helped a lot with that thank goodness.)
To some extent, if you pick a rolling distro, you're expecting and preparing for potential issues to roll out, but they really don't break that much.
PS. If you just use pacman -syyu each time instead you're a whole lot less likely to have troubles. It's silly, but hey, what works works.
@lukaszcjokiel
I saw KDE somewhere around 2004, and as we know, the most important is the first impression. 😉
@wariat Well, I saw it around this time on FreeBSD and... it was just as CDE on Solaris. It was OK, but fvwm2 was mich leaner on my 486DX2 66MHz. Then GNOME for years, but GNOME 3. So switched to KDE and the plasmoids were the king... KDE Neon gives you reasonable stable desktop, handles wine 32-bit for bogus retro apps (scope and EEPROM burners), handles both flatpacks and snaps, tooling for Atari ST with gcc and vasm... Themes that work, usefull desktop gadgets, Steam integration.
That is my 28th year with Linux on desktop 😀
Never used #Archlinux, but it has one of *THE BEST* knowledge bases out there, which I thank everyone who contributed to it:
@bazkie actually... imo it has a bit of truth in it. its rolling, after all - it MAY break. was one of the reasons i (eventually) migrated to nixos (with lix) - seems more comfortable for me personally
i inderstand theres people who find arch good though
@toffo well, non-rolling releases can also break on upgrade, sometimes quite catastrophically..
but mostly I just don't really like the arrogant vibe of the toot, especially the follow up one on how superior debian is

Unfortunately, a standard, legal 5mW laser pointer will only temporarily overexpose a Flock camera.
To do any permanent damage, you would most likely need a high-powered laser (over 500mW?) and they're not easy to procure.
@ApostateEnglishman
I don’t know if disabling is necessary. Registering your displeasure is.
I tend to get in front of the thing and make a point of giving the camera the finger with both hands
@Affekt @ApostateEnglishman Laser safety glasses are expensive, but they’re a lot cheaper than new eyes.
Geared tripod heads, high-magnification spotter scopes, and spotter scope mounts aren’t terribly expensive, but you get parallax over distance.
Dichroic mirrors and mounting systems to let you eliminate parallax are expensive, but then you can use a common CO2 bench laser.

@maccruiskeen @xaxat I suppose if you live right next to one you can get that one, but that's of pretty limited value.
If you want to blast things with a laser "safely" you really do want to be very close. You wouldn't want to risk hitting bystanders.
And if you are that close already, I'd go with the tool I recommended in the past, not a laser.

> might be a paint brush
Yeah! Climb the pole, unscrew the camera, cut the power cables, and then, while next to the pole, unscrew the camera's case so you can access the small orange/gold rectangle beneath the lens. Using a small screwdriver, pry up the filter plate in front of the sensor so that it exposes the gray silicon rectangle. Aim the nozzles of the paint can or your small brush at this rectangle then thoroughly cover the entire sensor with paint. With the proper paint thickness, the sensor will become resistant to even a quarter-second laser beam hit. Without this paint protection, the sensor would suffer irreversible damage after just a dozen or so milliseconds of exposure to a one watt coherent light source.
Don't forget to put the camera on the pole after you end to secure its sensor with painted substance.

Hard agree
European is a tricky word, especially together with traditional. Depending on the century values would vary like dialects. There weren’t even national values before the 19th century at the earliest.
So traditional European values could also be universal human rights, democracy and ever deeper unity.
I'd offer that the nobles PR firms trot out "xenophobia and patriarchy" as a distraction, because to blame the other is to redirect anger at their own situation.
Also: amazing this thread got so far without a single Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference.
i think "tradional european values" is used by bigots as an euphemism for conservative christianism, but loose enough to include the ancient philosophers. That expression always pisses me off, first cos Albania is very much in europe but not christian. And then cos the enlightenment is thanks to the arab philosophers who kept copies of the ancient texts that the europeans had burnt down during the middle ages.
I would go even further: _translatio studii_ was and is powerful because it is always imperfect transmission. At each handoff we decide which parts of the old ways are useful or not.
Can any of them list, with this stubby crayon, all the things they believe* are "tradihunnul Yurrupeen vaaluz"? Bonus points for avoiding the word 'white'.
It's just that the dudes watched 'Braveheart' and think it's all prima nocturne for the executive class they expect to be part of. That's the extent of what they know about Yurrup. Rape and plunder.
*- all the things their preachers, coaches, and daddy beat or inserted into them about traditional values.
That seems like a means not an end. I’m valuing pickles, leavened bread, well pruned orchards, river cleanups, neighborhood holidays with goofy local games and parades that everyone takes a turn being a member or a spectator of.

“…but, wait,” you say, “aren’t bananas supposed to be rich in potassium?”
You’re thinking of “baknaknas”. The “k”s are silent, like the one in “knave”, so it’s pronounced the same as “bananas”. Easy mistake to make; I saw it all the time in Chem 101.
There is an important issue here! They make the rule, but they don't tell you the story that made them think to make the rule. There is always a story. For example, at the university I used to work for, if you wanted to be reimbursed for travel, they said you had to submit the boarding passes. Clearly, someone had tried to get reimbursed for a trip they did not take. But at the time, Southwest COLLECTED the boarding passes, so no one who flew Southwest could be reimbursed. We took pictures of the passes. Sometimes that worked, sometimes not. Then it became possible to check in online and print the boarding pass. You could print two copies of the boarding pass. Or 100. This did not prove that you had boarded the plane, but it satisfied the rule.
The people who made the rule were staff who never got reimbursed for travel. They had no idea what problems they were creating, or that their rule did not accomplish what they intended.
Yes.
This one always got me thinking...

It costs a missed opportunity to give more appropriate advice: stay away from google and use more private community forks of android that if I understand correctly will not be affected by googles papers please app ecosystem.
A strategy focusing on begging tech giants to not do the will of capital is basically lying to the public that there is a chance this can work.
In theory yes the open letter is a nice thing to have regardless of how google reacts because then we have something to point to how google is ignoring public opinion - but it needs to be presented with heavy caveats and we need to focus on getting average people out of googles grip so they don't hold this much power over us

Oh! We agree. That's what @plasmamobile is all about. However, realistically PlaMo is not ready for the general public yet, despite how hard we are working on it.
If we could get the sort of support regular Plasma has, the story would be VERY different. But PlaMo is still niche.
Moritz Schade mag das.
I hadn't heard until Plasma Mobile until now, I had only heard of the pinephone one. I am excited to hear more about the project development in the future!
@PerryPeak @ambiguous_yelp @olivenolje @plasmamobile
The preferred test hardware is OnePlus 6 and 6t these days.
@PerryPeak ah yes I keep mixing that up and thinking pinephone have their own distro
@ambiguous_yelp @olivenolje @plasmamobile
Not even remotely ready. I'd almost say its 10 years away but you need a foundation for it to run on. And the number of phones it can run on right now I can count on one hand. Which is not a good start. Classic chicken and the egg situation, sadly.
I would base phone purchasing decisions on it but bigger priorities are avoiding conflict materials and modularity so I will stick with fairphone until I find something better
@KellicTiger @ambiguous_yelp @plasmamobile Actually, even if it goes against the concept of user freedom, I'd prefer all the efforts going into making Linux solid for a handful of phones, instead of trying to adapt the OS to many different brands and models.
Even better, exclusively work on something like the PinePhone and make it the flagship of Linux phones. Perhaps the Linux Mobile would then finally really take off?
@olivenolje @ambiguous_yelp @plasmamobile
Very much both. Also finding more hardware support. In that respect, we must not forget about the great work the people at @postmarketOS are doing! They help us get PlaMo on to more phones, giving us more space in which to grow.
Moritz Schade mag das.
@ambiguous_yelp Fair point.
However, if we insist on using Android (forks), we're still impacted by Google's decisions. Sooner or later, these forks will be less and less of a valid option (cf. how google's changes to the Pixel 10 series were a pain for the Grapheneos team).
Even if this letter fails, we shouldn't simply stick our heads in sand and look away from these issues. As you mentioned, raising public awareness is critical. So is fighting against their control.
I expect hardware to become more locked down, this is what states and capital want. The best solution to that continues to be open source hardware and modular devices.
I believe this because open source hardware and modular devices create power at a grassroots level and invites tighter crackdowns from governments - but there is a political limit to how oppressive a regime can be and the more power we build for ourselves the more expensive it will be for them to stop us using unapproved apps which slows the whole oppressive system down
@GopherPete "Permacomputing", now that's a concept I've never heard of before.
Sounds particularly interesting!

No. But to keep the mouth shut and let it happen quietly is not an option.

@helloclippy Device availability is definitely a friction point, but when choosing a new device this should be a priority and I will defend that, for example fairphone which is modular and pays workers a fairer wage and minimises conflict materials is compatible with /e/os
I would say that /e/os would still be better than using googles android because at least you can do away with Google Play Services (the component granting google the power to censor apps) and it can probably be hardened post-install too.
I'm not saying everyone needs to get a new phone right now but the existence of friction points doesn't mean we are powerless and it doesn't mean the friction can't be reduced in time
As an anarchist basically I don't think we should rely on undemocratic institutions to solve our problems we should do everything we can right now at a grassroots level

@helloclippy @ambiguous_yelp Clearly a big issue with android forks.
Therefore I clearly agree that we need better open hardware devices and open source firmware and software.
A couple of projects are aiming at achieving exactly that (Linux phones, Pinenote), but they are far away from being a solid/daily-drive alternative to Android/iPhones, just think banking apps.
The issue is time though, as open projects take a lot of it, while big tech solutions are rolled out on a conveyor belt...
@toadofsky keepandroidopen.org/ has a section for users too.
Simple example, you want to install a nice app your friend made/recommended, you run stock Android, installation is rejected. The end.

A lot of the time banking apps are just QoL features though, obviously ymmv especially globally, but in my experience you can get by using the bank website, debit card details and cash. Those who can live without banking apps in order to grow the linux mobile ecosystem: should do so
Apple and Google, 2 choices for apps from where we sit, and both are partners in crime. END MONOPOLIES. Capitalism has become extortion when conglomerated.
Tear everything apart and build it from scratch, the entire system has been subverted to evil.

Imagine people thinking they live in a #democracy when corporations make major decisions affecting people's lives, based purely on maximizing profit.
@ambiguous_yelp @helloclippy You're right, I'd like to persuade myself to use cash again.
But the country I stay in rn is almost entirely running on DC, cash is a relic of long forgotten past.
But then again, in the EU, a new initiative (Wero) is growing, aiming at breaking free from Mastercard and Visa. Perhaps it is the "dreamt" opportunity to make a change towards a better digital payment system. But I am digressing
@ambiguous_yelp @olivenolje some banking apps are almost required. Ex. some banks I'm with require it to do certain expected features, excluding withdrawal/deposit.
I've also seen one provider (wish I remembered the name) that explicitly stated they'll close your account if the app is not used every 30 days or so...

Hence why I have two phones...
@jessienab @olivenolje Ha thats ridiculous of them - if banks actually cared about 2FA for security they wouldn't use mobile phones for that they're too easily hacked; they'd insist on key fob devices instead.
Of course its actually about building a surveillance network and the banks get a cut of the profits
@okias
It does. Albeit, many end users will find it hard to install and with not as many features or the stability of Android.
We are working hard on it and it has come a long way, but it may not be the drop-in substitute many users will be looking for quite yet.

Great video (and rant at the end!).
Panels are very cheap, but a decent charge controller and inverter isn't, and apparently inverters don't last forever - I've only had mine for a few years, so it's too early to tell how reliable they are.
Replacing inverters may be a "running cost" of the system if you have to use AC.
For that reason, I have been trying to find as many DC-powered products as possible, but it's quite hard to find non-IT appliances.
The only real DC kitchen devices you can get a fridges.
There are NO DC-powered cooking equipment.
The most powerful DC kettle I have found is 24V and 300W, which isn't great.
Everything else is just low power, small equipment.
Someone in the US is trying to make a battery-powered electric oven, so people can use them on 120V systems.
I bet it is phenomenally expensive!
The first half of this video, as usual, taught me a few things and made me think.
The second half.... wow. Thank you for saying all this.
(I'm in the UK.)
It seems pretty clear, at the end you consider the US to be in the early stages of fascism.
Have you thought about writing anything explaining this?
✊
Thank you.
It was sooo good. Thank you!
Make sure to watch all the way to the end
listening to the last five minutes of this video ❤️🔥🔥🔥
I am not completely through your video but have an interesting videolink to the recycling problem.
It's completely in German but it shows a process to completely separate all layers of a solar panel to get pure materials for new panels.

This was amazingly well researched and put together, like most of your videos.
Hopefully this will get some people to understand the importance of moving on from fossil fuels many instances.
I came for the video and stayed for the amazing rallying cry during the latter part.
Keep up the amazing research and thank you for speaking out, though it's unfortunate that you felt like you had to.
Just wanted to say, watched most of this video, absolutely loved it. Like I already knew most of this stuff, but even more than the bit of added detail, the way that you framed it, the explanation you gave, and the fact that you even said at the end "I'm saying this because this way convinces people."
...I am definitely going to be using this exact way of framing the issue way more often, probably with the added fact that acquiring oil has required a lot of warfare, so we are literally just asking that the money going into warfare and environmental response get put into long-term energy-security instead.
Some of my fav yt comments on this video:
> When it's so bad, even your[e] favorite dishwasher influencer has to speak up:
> This is the most angry someone could ever possibly be when holding a solar panel
> "There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man."
thanks so much for the video, particularly the lather half.
I do feel the need to comment on the section on photovoltaics recycling though.
I'm far from an expert on this, but I do have the privilege of research proposals in this field crossing my desk every now and then and having occasional contact with the wonderful people at Fraunhofer ISE, among others.
For everything except the aluminium frame, recycling is significantly complicated by the fact that the adhesive used is a resin which can't easily be molten/dissolved. Right now the state of the art is to just shred the glass with everything adhered to it and use it as concrete fill.
The one exception ist that there's a bit of a scramble to capture the silver contained in the solder of panels manufactured during the first boom years of photovoltaics which are starting to age out, but as I understand that comes at the cost of wasting the other materials.
Theres lots of cool research in this field: how to manufacture for recycling, how to melt the cells and electrolyze the impurities out if the silicon, etc.
But were still pretty far away from having anything like a circular economy for photovoltaics.
So I finally got a chance to watch this and…wow, I’ll just say 💯 on the ending, and I have nothing but respect for you being willing to go all out like that.
I really appreciate pushing the perspective of “one and done” for every gallon of fuel we burn.
One thing I wanted to note, while ICE engines (not those guys 😂) burn fuel with near 100% efficiency, my understanding is a car motor actually loses something around 80% of that energy through heat, so it’s even WORSE.
I feel can't find the right words to formulate a comment that would express my sympathies towards you, your cause and your way or fighting for that cause, in an adequate way. I'll try anyway.
As a European, I'd be honored if you moved here, but you're probably too much of a Midwesterner to let Trump take your country from you. You remind me of what I imagine Bernie Sanders would be like if he was 50 years younger and did a "I don't need a comment, I need you to vote!" video.

@chrismerkel Fair enough, and that's one of the other biggest issues with Peertube at the moment. But my understanding is, for many YouTube creators anyway, Ad revenue is a pretty small fraction of their income. Obviously I can't say much on that for Alec specifically.
Also the viewership is so low, I doubt it would even make much of a difference at the moment. Obviously that could change in the future but he could always stop uploading to Peertube, or find some other monetization strategy.
@drsbaitso
> But I really think the Overestimate Short Term & Underestimate Long Term problem does a lot more heavy lifting in that regard. Humans in survival mode (as so many of us have been for the past 10-40 years) need to focus on the short term, and thinking about the long term is an unaffordable luxury.
Really feeling this. Looking after your sustainability is totally a thing. But having had some major wins, politically, this decade in Australia, it gives light to the maxim “you underestimate what you can do in a decade”.
We replaced a string of the safest conservative House of Reps politicians with pro-environment pro-integrity conservatives, really rattling the establishment and rejecting post-truth, putting civility back on the floor of the house. It’s the sort of thing 12-year-olds on a school tour can actually watch without cringing (and dying) inside.

Thank you for talking
@GoodNewsGreyShoes They didn’t though. They said “TL;DW?”.
That’s not asking for help. That’s an incredibly terse way to say “what you made is too long and I didn’t watch it”.
Interpreting that as a “request” involves adding in as much context on your part as interpreting my comment as a rebuke.
In both cases; the “request” and the “rebuke” are not in the original statements.
this was amazing.
im leaving these here because the video made me remember these and ive put in some effort to find them again. theyre from the french greens in the european parliament, i think
her name is Lola Mercé and she has done some other bangers too:
@BalooUriza @balkonsolar no, the panels have a built-in inverter that only works as long as it detects a healthy grid supply. This was specificly designed as a safety measure to prevent backfeeding of disabled circuits.
They are also limited in power to ensure that they can't defeat circuit breakers in detecting overcurrent through house wiring.
(This toot only applies to the situation in Germany)
@BalooUriza @balkonsolar a grid tie inverter is synchronized to the grid and has to stop if the grid goes down, because otherwise it would loose sync and suddenly supply 100% of the load.
These imverters are designed to inject current in your home mains by using a voltage slightly higher than the grid, so it is consumed first.
I thought I was watching a solar panel video, which was surprisingly fantastic the whole way through. I have 1,740 watts on my sailboat that I live on, so I didn't need convincing, but I feel better knowing that my lithium bank is perfectly recyclable.
And then, the video "ended." I was Jack Nicholson-smiling for thirty straight minutes and had a hand ✊🏻 raised. I was just expecting to find out how photovoltaics were somehow just heat pumps like every other invention ever.
@cwilcox808 @mattesilver that’s not universally true, though!
There’s a German electrician working on PV sites who’s documenting his attempts to repair a certain type of PV panel where the backside laminates deteriorate after only a few years… youtu.be/D-vWFO0gnUk to the point of complete loss of power generation because the isolation breaks down.

@almino @Janne_O While that might be true of this particular video, it is not true of the channel (or the secondary channel) in general. Also, just because a video isn't monetized that doesn't make it public domain.
If #PeerTube wants creators like Alec on it, it has to get a lot easier to publish mirrors on PeerTube. (Also, it should be easier to "monetize", but that's a harder problem, for several reasons.)
@maruno I built my own 20kWh + 5kW off grid setup, batteries included, for about 2000 euros.
LFP cells cost about 40-100 per kWh, you just have to add a BMS, inverter and some cables.
The expensive part is people. Same goes for the panels; 5kw of panels is 500€, but getting them put on your roof and cabled and all that costs (sometimes tens of) thousands, because there aren't a lot of people who do it and they want a high profit margin.
Happy to show you how to do it though 😛

Europe was not far behind.

@breizh uranium is neither renewable nor free to harvest at low operating costs. nuclear power is an uniquely insane upfront investment & constant operating expenses and a lot of societal operating expenses to safely store the nuclear waste. until such time it can be safely transmuted. That is also a huge investment to develop and scale that technology.
the last time nuclear power was built it was only possible because the cold war needed the technology to be dual use otherwise it would have just been building nukes to collect dust somewhere.
@burnitdown Yes, the Democrats are not perfect. Nowhere near perfect even. Alec mentioned that in the video too.
But don't forget the reality that the US is stuck in a two-party system. You basically have 3 options:
Option 1 is obviously worst, no need to discuss that.
But not voting is still worse that voting for the Democrats. Don't let your vote go to waste. The rest of the world counts on you!
As someone from the rest of the world, specifically from a country with (way) more than 2 parties, I sincerely hope that someday the US will reform their system and get more than 2 parties too. But first you need to get rid of the current administration, asap.
